I decided last weekend to have fun with lunch. So i jazzed up hotdogs and mac-n-cheese. I made hot dog octupus! I saw the idea several years ago on a cooking show. I had always been in the back of my mind, but never made them. So i gave it a shot! I sliced the hotdog over half way up and tried to make as many legs as possible. 8 would be ideal. Once the legs get smaller the hot dog wants to break and tear. I'll have to work on it. Then i just tossed them into the boiling pasta water for a minute or two to cook and it makes the legs kinda curl a little. Then fished them out with a slotted spoon and let them cool while the pasta finished cooking. Then i served it like shown in the picture. The boys had fun biting the legs off and eating the head. Later Cole told me he likes his hot dogs smooth. Meaing, uncute and normal. Hey i tried to be fun!
